  1. Well Garrett, I watched the highlights today, and don't have a lot to add to what you're already written. I wasn't watching Hamlin's crash close enough to decide whose fault it was. As for Kyle Busch, he seemed to take ages to stop his car while his pit crew were yelling at him to get out because it was on fire. With the hurt pit crew member, I only get the highlights, so maybe they didn't consider it worthy of more coverage, but it sounds like they didn't give any more time in the uncut version. In the BBC's F1 coverage (and ITV's before that) they have a couple of the commentary team based in the pit lane (very different layout to NASCAR), and when an incident like this occurs, one of them gets sent to the team garage to get the story. Although the new F1 champion, Sebastian Vettel, wasn't mentioned by name, the fact the he'd won after never leading before the final race did come up in the commentary. Did I also hear a mention of Michael Schumacher's five F1 titles in a row (2000-04) get mentioned?. I may have imagined it .
  2. It is indeed Jimmie Best. Well done to waikiki and Roger. Q. Which guest actor rehearsed a scene with Sorrell Booke in Japanese (they were both fluent), much to the surprise of Rick Hurst who did his lines in English?.
  3. Let It All Blow - Dazz Band (I see you've still got the NKOTB albums out Garrett )
  4. Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want - The Smiths (A cover of this song by Dream Academy was used in the art gallery scene of Ferris Bueller's Day Off)

    One Word Song Titles

    A song from 1985 with a video featuring Donald Sutherland. A sample from this was used in the 1992 song by Utah Saints.

    One Word Song Titles

    A haunting track from the late '70s. Sally is the sister of Mike Oldfield, who is probably best known for his 1973 album Tubular Bells.
  11. I'm Only Sleeping - The Beatles
  12. Bill Engvall (sorry - pinched that one from waikiki )
  13. I'm Gonna Hire a Wino to Decorate Our Home - David Frizzell (Only a country song could have a title like that )

    Zoolook - Jean-Michel Jarre From his experimental 4th studio album of 1984. The album uses samples of singing and speech from 25 languages - more info here.
  15. comedy
  16. Sorry, I tried earlier. It's not on YouTube, or his MySpace (there's 6 other songs here in full), or any of the usual places I look. There's another similar sample available here. I did like his record company name - Deaf Jim - I'm assuming a parody of rap/hip-hop label DefJam. I'll keep looking and post a link if I do find anything.
  17. It looks like no-one's getting this one. The mechanic who worked on Black Tillie was called Skeeter. Q. Which cast member is a cousin of the Everly Brothers?.

    The county fair in the video looks fun. They've got cars, girls, plaid shirts and loads of mud .

    Daisy's Jeep

    This one seems to have taken ages. It's my own fault for starting 2 projects at once . It proved very hard getting good reference photos for this one because hardly any Jeep owners seem to keep their vehicles standard. I've tried to make it a stock CJ-7. Dixie kept changing, and trim such as wipers and mirrors disappear and reappear between shots. I've gone for a manual transmission version. I based the 'DIXIE' hood graphics on the Jeep at Cooter's because the photos I found online were much higher resolution than any screengrabs I could get - they are slightly different from the series (I think the Jeep at Cooter's is a CJ-5, not a CJ-7 - any Jeep experts can correct me if I'm wrong). The Jeep emblems have been left in place as that's how they appeared in earlier shows.
  22. Country Roads (John Denver)
  23. I was wondering what the moderator online messages at the bottom of the screen were all about. Today it tells me you've all "Gone fishin'" . Thanks also for the Social Toolbar. It will act as a constant reminder that I should get a life .

    For those of you unfamiliar with Max Headroom, he was touted as a sophisticated, computer-generated character. In reality it was actor Matt Frewer in heavy make-up with some clever visual effects. Let's face it; computer graphics in the mid '80s just weren't up to the job. Now that would make an interesting trio .
